Exclusive: John McAfee Wanted for Murder (Updated)
The originator of the famous anti virus program was recently arrested for the murder of another foreigner on Ambergris Caye. I can't say if San Pedro is safe or not safe. I have spent a total of almost 4 months there over a period of years. What I learned from a series of trips to the West End of Roatan is do not try and get to know the local expatriates. As the saying goes, in the Caribbean they are either wanted, or unwanted.
There are lots of dumb things I could do in my own home town, but at least I know what they are. When traveling a place can seem idyllic and safe yet turn out to not be. This isn't the first bad story to come out of San Pedro and it is no where near as horrific as some of the incidents the Bay Islands have seen.
I would go back there, just to be clear, and I do know a lot of the unwanted.
